One of the things I like
about this tiny scale is that I can bang something together
that I wouldn't normally bother with - like this aircraft
for instance. Although it is a neat looking plane, the
chances that I would invest my usual sloth-like building
time into it in any other scale are slim. This is such
a little gem though I just couldn't resist slapping it
together soon after I bought it.
As usual Revell have overdone
the panel lines a bit for the scale (and I didn't help
matters much by putting too dark of a wash in them) but
it still looks pretty good to me. You'll notice that one
of the wingtip Magic 2 missiles is missing. The
official story is that the aircraft just returned from
the firing range. The real story is that I lost the other
one. I was convinced that one of the wee furry beasts
had gotten hold of it but I was clearing out the stacks
of magazines underneath my workbench a couple of weeks
ago and found the missile - missing for well over a year.
Now I just have to try and remember what paints I mixed
to paint the rest of the ordnance....
